Senior IC Design and Verification Engineer

Description

Power Integrations designs and manufactures high-performance electronic components which are used in a range of power-conversion systems. Our integrated circuits enable compact, energy-efficient AC-DC power supplies for a vast range of electronic products including mobile devices, TVs, PCs, appliances, smart utility meters and LED lighting. Our SCALE IGBT drivers enhance the efficiency, reliability and cost of very high-power applications such as industrial motor drives, solar and wind energy systems, electric vehicles, and high-voltage DC transmission.

Job Summary

As a Senior IC Design and Verification Engineer, your primary role involves design and verifying of Mixed Mode Integrated Circuits that combine both, analog and digital components. Responsibilities include developing verification strategies, creating testbenches, and designing test cases for mixed-signal functionality. You'll collaborate closely with analog and digital design teams, use simulation tools to ensure accurate performance, and debug issues. Strong expertise in mixed-signal verification methodologies, understanding of analog and digital circuitry, and proficiency in simulation tools are crucial for success in this role

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including digital design, analog design, and test.
• Develop verification plans for testing mixed-signal IC functionality.
• Design and implement testbenches to verify analog and digital components of mixed-signal circuits.
• Conduct simulations to ensure correct functionality and performance of mixed-signal circuits under various conditions.
• Analyze simulation results, identify issues, and collaborate with design teams to resolve problems in the IC.
• Create and maintain documentation for verification processes, methodologies, and results.
• Utilize relevant EDA tools for simulation and verification tasks.
• Collaborate with test engineering teams to transition from simulation to actual hardware testing.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and contribute to improving verification processes.
  
  

Requirements

• BS degree in Electronics Engineering or related course .
• Minimum of 5 years of experience working in an IC design and verification environment.
• Have worked on verifying designs which have gone into production.
• Have a solid understanding of electronics principles and basic functions (Comparators, OpAmps, DACs, ADCs, Bandgaps, etc.)
• Have a strong understanding of mixed signal verification principles and current methods.
